Decigram [dg]

The decigram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram.

1 decigram = 0.1 grams
1 decigram = 10⁻⁴ kilograms
Symbol: dg

Key Facts:

Used for measuring small masses, often in laboratory or pharmaceutical contexts
The prefix "deci-" means $10^{-1}$ (one-tenth)
Smaller than a gram but larger than a centigram

The decigram is useful for precise measurement of small quantities where grams are too large a unit.

Kiloton (Metric) [kt]

The kiloton (kt) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms (one million kilograms). It is commonly used to measure large quantities, such as the weight of ships, large cargo, or explosive energy equivalent in nuclear physics.

In the context of explosives, one kiloton often refers to the energy released by the explosion of 1,000 tons of TNT, a standard measure in describing the yield of nuclear bombs.

The kiloton provides a convenient scale for expressing very large masses or energy amounts in scientific, industrial, and military fields.
